A modder has released "Farmer's Store," an ambitious overhaul mod for Stardew Valley that lets players run their own business rather than simply selling goods through the shipping bin or existing shops. Created by bubuge12, the mod adds deep management mechanics, including hiring staff, ordering stock from suppliers, restocking shelves and running marketing campaigns, alongside fast-paced Overcooked-style cooking and serving gameplay for restaurant setups.

Villagers periodically visit the player's establishment and leave reviews based on their experience, with the trailer inviting players to "become Pelican Town's worst boss." The mod supports shops, museums or restaurants, allows every item type to be profitable through features like custom posters and descriptions, and is built to be compatible with major mods such as Stardew Valley Expanded, with multiplayer support planned. Though its trailer and Nexus page are in English, the mod's screenshots and footage are in Chinese, as it originates from a Chinese creator; English content is currently machine-translated, with community help sought for further localisation, and it has received strongly positive user reviews.
